cry kid

Rofl

I still enjoyed though :/

Pretty g00d.

Cry because the show went from being semi-realistic to just the most absurd things ever?

I still love it, but c'mon. It just seemed so off the cuff, unlike dexter at all.

It was never realistic to me. I don't watch shows for the realism. I'd watch a documentary if that's what I wanted.

Let's be honest, aside from the fact that every serial killer in the world apparently flocks to Miami to put themselves on Dexter's table, the show during the first few season seemed somewhat plausible.

You can plainly see that during the last few season, "his work" has gotten very sloppy. It hit home for me during the last episode of last season when he is on the boat with the migrants and the guy tries to rob them. So, Dexter spears him a tosses him overboard and casually says, "you're safe now". Like wtf?

I just brushed it off as bad writing until I saw Sundays episode. Guy kills a "sub character" on the show that I have had little to now relationship with, let me put myself in a very stupid position of killing his assailant in a crowded Miami International Airport. When, not but the day before, my sister just found out I'm a serial killer. BRILLIANT FUCKING WRITING.

Please take any writing coarse in college and ask yourself if those script writers didn't deserve an "F" on that one...

You mean has character has changed since the series started? Holy fuck bro you havent heard of character development in all your writing classes? Shit has gotten worse and worse for dexter every season of course he is loosing his damn mind and doing shit he wouldnt have been in the first few seasons.

Dexter is the exception to the rule on "character development". In the sense that from the beginning of the show, he himself has stated that he is devoid of emotion and that helps him not get caught. He is calculated in virtually everything he does. Now, that is not to say that I am not all for him showing more emotion due to that particular situation and him having a child. But, that scene itself seemed very random and pointless to the shows development and only seemed to have a negative affect on the perception overall.

This was only amplified for me during this last episode with that airport scene. And now has me semi worried for a continuity of the rest of the season. Although, I will keep watching because of my love for the show itself. Even if the writing is getting sloppy in my opinion. That's all I was saying.

Dexter regularly kills people that are guilty of crimes in his jurisdiction. To me it felt more like they were just simply rushing this one so they could get back to the stuff that actually mattered in the episode since it was the premier and they had alot of ground to cover. Less to do with writing more to do with time.

Quality should never take a back seat to quantity when it comes to writing imo.
